All in the specs. but a little clarification. There are three piano sounds and 3 "Rhodes"-like customizable ENORMISSIMES REALLY are.

Level connections, is 4x times what I needed but I liked one that supports USB audio and connects to a computer as a sound card. it would have been the top.
But I quibble. Even with the integrated sound card in my iMac is almost no wind and the momentum is sufficient to record a serious work.

UTILIZATION

The keyboard touch is sublime. I just left crying and shouting my acoustic piano (an old yamaha) and frankly there is no comparison. It is VERY close to a real piano. We feel the mechanics below. At mid-race was held a slight similarity to the perfect lifting dampers. Frankly, at the touch, it is much better than many low-end pianos. By ignoring it thinks on a grand piano.

For the basic setup, you turn it on.

SOUNDS

Config level, it thickens. It's a little black dot of the beast. The sounds are great, but you really need to customize and there, no choice: Setup + arrows + left right etc.. Frankly it's not clear the 2 / 3 first hours and after one month I have not all inclusive ... it really gives the impression that he is full of adjustments and that never happens in the end. on the other hand, if you understand a few basics, you can really "build" the piano sound you want and then it kills, it kills, it kills. Between the level of the breath of the box when the dampers rise, the level of depth of sound, the placement of microphones, the sound of hammers, the height of the LID, the angle bar for Rhodes. There are 4 pages of setup with 5 / 8 options each for the six main sounds.

I note in passing that when playing a note, if another is in resonance and even over, she'll get back to resonate in harmony, as on a real piano.

In addition to the progressive pedal is really great and terrible effects on rhodes, frankly, is the most musical digital piano I've ever had in his hands. Some people tell me that the SX was not bad, I say that we really reached new heights.

OVERALL OPINION

It's been a month p'tit I use it to replace an old upright piano ... Sure, he has not the soul of a wooden object with ropes, but frankly it is a worthy substitute.

What I like more: touch, sound, some settings really very bone effect (damper resonance, depth, opening the lid)
What I like least: The complexity of the interface. When you come from an upright piano was like being in a space shuttle. But it fades quickly. With practice there is more too much attention. Another thing, Attention 28Kilos's heavy. To repeat it frankly galley (small negative there on the other hand)

The value for money is pretty decent especially a large number of shops proposed less than 1800 euros (no ads, in fact you will find some). I took a headphone with super, and it's happiness.

For trying a few, this one is the best at less than 2000 euros. And frankly above, I not see that can happen to her ankle.

You even tried playing a Debussy and a jazz standard ... is the digital piano of happiness.
